Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry

  • Puff pastry sheets, thawed
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1 cup Alfredo sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken with Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly mixed, creating a rich and creamy filling.
  2. Preheat and Cut Puff Pastry: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Thaw the puff pastry sheets if frozen, then cut them into equally sized squares, about 3 inches each, to create perfect puff pockets.
  3. Assemble the Crazy Puffs: Place a generous spoonful of the chicken Alfredo filling onto the center of each puff pastry square. Fold the pastry over to create a triangle or rectangle, then seal the edges by pressing with a fork to prevent leaks during baking.
  4. Apply Egg Wash: Lightly beat one egg to create the egg wash. Brush this gently over each puff to give them that beautiful golden-brown sheen when baked.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the assembled puffs on a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the puff pastry is crisp and golden and the filling is bubbling deliciously inside.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill: Adding too much filling can cause the puffs to burst open in the oven.
  • Keep puff pastry cold: Work quickly and keep the dough chilled to ensure maximum flakiness.
  • Use homemade Alfredo sauce: For the richest flavor, making your own Alfredo sauce is worth the extra effort.
  • Seal edges well: Press edges firmly with a fork to prevent any filling from leaking out during baking.
  • Let cool slightly: Allow the puffs to rest for a few minutes after baking; this helps the filling set and prevents burns.
